Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social got it exactly correct. China has other buyers. Also, other sellers (Argentina for soybeans, for instance). We are a long way from the 1950s when the USA, largely undamaged after WW II, could set the trade rules for the world.

These are real messages sent by a Trump nominee. Absolutely vile.
These are the types of people that Trump is trying to elevate to hold real positions of power. He is doing everything he can to move this country backwards.
Oh and by the way, this man is STILL employed at DHS.

DC has an incredibly high youth unemployment rate, just like many places around the country.
I might be crazy, but maybe we should pay young people to do jobs that deliver for the public instead of the National fucking Guard.

The move will "unleash American drone dominance," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.
